NASA managers have delayed the launch of the space shuttle Discovery to Dec. 17, saying more repair work is needed before the spacecraft can make its final trip to the International Space Station.
NASA said Wednesday that repairs on two, 21-foot support brackets that are part of Discovery's external fuel tank are not yet complete. Work on the U-shaped aluminum brackets, called stringers, will continue through next.
The NASA review board responsible for evaluating the readiness of the spacecraft is scheduled to meet Dec. 2 to evaluate the repair work. If the board clears Discovery for the trip, then blastoff would be scheduled for Dec. 17, with the preferred time being 8:51 p.m. Eastern time.
NASA had delayed the flight earlier this month until Nov. 30, after Discovery suffered a series of mechanical glitches. Besides the bracket problems, the spacecraft also had a hydrogen leak that posed a significant safety risk. The leak has been repaired. Discovery was originally scheduled to lift off Nov. 5 from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. The space shuttle entered service in 1984, and is one of three remaining shuttles of the six originally built. Atlantis and Endeavour remain in service, while Challenger and Columbia were lost in accidents that claimed the lives of their crewmembers. The first shuttle, Enterprise, was a test vehicle that was retired shortly after its initial series of suborbital flights in 1977.
The shuttle program is expected to end in February when Endeavour takes to the skies for the final time. President Obama earlier this year ordered NASA to turn over low-orbit flights to private contractors and focus more on deep space missions and research.
Discovery will carry a six-member, all-U.S. crew on its final voyage, officially known as STS-133. Commander Steve Lindsey, 50, of Temple City, Calif., leads the team, and the pilot is Eric Boe, 45, of Atlanta. Also on board will be mission specialists Alvin Drew, 47, of Washington, D.C., Tim Kopra, 47, of Austin, Texas, Michael Barratt, 51, of Camas, Wash., and Nicole Stott, 47, of Clearwater, Fla.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

- Red vs. Blue: Church and Tucker. Actually most of the friendships in the series seem to work like that... not surprising, as in Real Life the creators and voice actors seem to get on this way.
- When Caboose comes to Church's new base in Reconstruction, he tries to literally snipe him, but his aim is so bad that he repeatedly missed.
- Church is still clearly devastated when Caboose seemingly dies, though.
- This comes up when Church meets the version of himself inside of Caboose's head. Mental Church claims to be Caboose's best friend. Real Church is not amused.
Church: You're not Caboose's best friend, okay? You don't have a best friend. You know why? You don't need one. You're Church! Knowing other people just waters down the experience. Live the dream, buddy!
- Simmons and Grif also qualify quite nicely for this trope, even though always throwing insults or worse at each other they never stop being Those Two Guys (if not Heterosexual Life-Partners). In fact, the very first scene of the series set them up to have this kind of friendship.
- The voice actors for Simmons (Gus) and Grif (Geoff) also qualify, they make fun of each other for their heavy drinking, lousy gaming ability, extreme nerdiness, etc. but they also lived together for years, have made out with each other (as a joke), and live a block down the street from each other to this day.
- Doc also seems to think that he and O'Malley have this relationship by season 4. However, given that O'Malley is pure evil, his hatred for Doc is probably completely genuine. Probably.
- When Caboose comes to Church's new base in Reconstruction, he tries to literally snipe him, but his aim is so bad that he repeatedly missed.
- Vendetta hates Charlotte in Making Fiends, often attempting to kill her with her fiends. However, Charlotte (being a Cloudcuckoolander Genki Girl) thinks they're the best of friends.
- Homestar Runner and Strong Bad. (Though Strong Bad is occasionally almost decent to Homestar, Homestar is oblivious to Strong Bad's constant insults almost all of the time.) This is noted a few times in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People:
Strong Bad: I thought we were bros!
Homestar: Wait, I thought I thought we were bros, and you're always beating various stuffings out of me.
- Meanwhile, Bubs and Coach Z describe the second type.
Coach Z: Aw, Bubs'll be back. He loves me like a brother! (beat) Hates me like a brother, too.
- Meanwhile, Bubs and Coach Z describe the second type.
- The entire main cast of Tomorrows Nobodies are this to eachother. Especially Eric and David, at least in terms of vitriol displayed.
- In RWBY, Weiss and Ruby end up with some shades of this towards the end of Volume 1. Establishing moment being the combat skirt low-five. A season later, all it takes is a shared glance at each other for Weiss to know what to do to prevent the team and Oobleck from dying in a fiery crash. Even if they are on good terms, this doesn't stop them from spending most of their time insulting each other, wilfully disregarding each other's opinions, and in Weiss' case denying that they're friends.
- In X-Ray and Vav, our titular heroes are this. X-Ray is a major It's All About Me kind of guy while Vav wants to be portrayed as The Cape and the two will clash over their ideas all the time. But, when worse comes to worse, the two will stand up for each other and save the day.
- Quite a number of character pairs from The Most Popular Girls in School, both types.

What happens when single nucleotides within the sequences encoding ribosomal RNAs are mutated? That is the question addressed by the Ribosomal Mutation Database curated by faculty at Franklin & Marshall College. This database houses just over 1,000 records for ribosomal RNA mutations, supplying a brief description of the resulting phenotypes and the primary citations. The records are primarily from E. coli, with only fewer than 100 records hailing from other organisms. Database users can display the information in either table view (which displays 10 records per page, apparently sorted by base position at which the mutation occurs) or form view. The latter view displays only one entry per page, which makes it quite inconvenient to browse. (As users can filter the results by position, alteration, organism, etc. in either view, the form view seems unnecessary.)

I really love Gabriella for you! It's wonderful with your boys, and it's all around very classy and feminine. I think it's a great name. I can just see Gabriella as Ryan, Cameron, Mason, and Graydan's little sister, both having enough fire to hold her own against four big brothers, but also the one that those big brothers will protect.
I really love Gabriella and Merryn together, but I really like the idea of continuing the two-mn trend. Out of the options you have, Gabriella Chandler Merryn is my favorite, but I don't really care for Chandler on a girl. I was torn between Gabriella Merryn and Gabriella Chandler Merryn, but in the end, Gabriella Merryn got my vote.

Product Description
Product Description
Described as a thundering return to the band's original hard rock sound, `Bleed Like Me' features eleven tracks that return to the power and simplicity of their debut. The first single is the explosive `Why Do You Love Me'. Amongst the other highlights of the album are the dynamic opener `Bad Boyfriend', a heavy out and out rock song featuring a guest appearance from Dave Grohl on drums. Aside from Grohl, the album also features an additional guest in the shape of Beck bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen. Geffen. 2005.
Despite making it through a difficult four-year stretch in which the band temporarily broke up, singer Shirley Manson left her husband, and new technologies made the sleek electro-rock sound of its first three albums feel passé, Garbage resurfaces in rude health on Bleed Like Me. Manson is still kickboxing the air and stomping the glitter under her heels, as she channels Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde on edgy glam-rock anthems like "Run Baby Run" and "Metal Heart." All the while three bookish producers in the background--including Butch Vig, who famously helmed Nirvana's Nevermind--turn up the sleazy machine-like rhythms. Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl sits in on the drums for the menacing "Bad Boyfriend," but it's the confessional title track Bleed Like Me"--part "Walk on the Wild Side," part therapy session for former cutter Manson--that shatters Garbage's image as the ultimate non-stick studio band. "You should see my scars," goes the chorus. And, for once, Manson is actually willing to reveal them. -- Aidin Vaziri

scare, a few laughs, and bring up that feeling of excitement and exhilaration that comes from being scared on purpose. Even with the knowledge of the
safety of a scary event such as a haunted house or haunted forest, there is always that sliver of doubt that leaves us wondering "what if" and allows us to
be frightened by our own imagination as much as the actual intended scare of an event.

and even several live shows to excite and frighten the pants off anyone who dares to darken the gates at Universal Studios. Come join the fun and let your
imagination and fears run wild through the streets of Universal Studios allowing you to feel the excitement and fear in a very enjoyable environment.

The reality is that you will have a far easier time finding a house than a condo as an FHA buyer.
On the link below I am sending the 3 houses in that particular area that are on the market in that price range, and the property on 81st st. is a regular sale, not a short sale. The other 2 are short sales and will be more challenging.
I will also check to see if there are any fha approved condos in the area and send them off to you as well.
If you are inteested in further pursuing the properties on the link above I would be glad to discuss them with you, feel free to contact me directly.

In addition to running I practice yoga 3-4 times a week.

I rarely write reviews (even for products I love),but this needs to be said. My husband bought this Vitamix for me as a gift. We love making smoothies and it's a challenge to find a machine that can fully liquify two cups of frozen strawberries. We usually add Vega One to our creations and one day after a taste test I left a metal spoon in the carafe and blended it. The spoon was destroyed, metal shavings in my smoothie, and sadly the blades were bent and the pitcher scratched up. It was entirely my fault. I contacted Vitamix to purchase a replacement. Customer service was absolutely wonderful. They walked me through steps to make sure the motor and base didn't need repaired and then shipped a new pitcher free of charge. Yes, this is a huge investment, but I promise it can make steaming hot chocolate from frozen chips and cold milk. You can fill it with frozen berries and it will blend them completely smooth. And, when disaster strikes, you can count on Vitamix to take good care of you and your blender.

I am giving myself one star for not buying this blender five years ago. I had a hard time justifying dropping a weekful of per diems on a blender when I could get a Hamilton beach or Waring bar blender for a fraction of the price. After all, a blender is a blender and nice cars haven't changed where I drive and nice skis don't change where I ski and an expedition pack isn't going to bring me to hike Everest any more than the best set of golf clubs is going to make me change my life and start enjoying golf. In short, my habits tend to remain constant regardless of the equipment I use to pursue said habits. The VitaMix, on the other hand, changes much of my life by changing what I put in my body by sheer virtue of opening up another world by being able to do it right - think walking on ice with shoes vs ice skates. I eat soups that I would not otherwise even think to make, I get to see what almond butter is actually supposed to taste like and it's great, and the texture of smoothies makes it a different experience entirely. The presets aren't necessary, but they sure are nice! For instance, I can set it to smoothie and flip it on and then the blender starts out slow and then ramps up to a higher speed and then slows down for a second and then turns off with me free to do other things than set timers and sit there and babysit it. It's not gonna be cheap in any sense of the word, but I should have taken all the money I spent on other blenders and bought one of these a long time ago. This thing is a tank with a great resale value and a warranty better than most marriages, and I'd you don't like it, send it back!

Comments about Vitamix Professional Series 750 Brushed Stainless Blender:
Had it a bit over a month or so and it makes the best smoothies, I have fallen in love with this machine. A friend has one and gave me some of a smoothie she made from it, I loved it cause everything was chopped up so well. .normally smoothies I had made with another brand blender...you could chew pieces....not with the Vitamix. I even made soup in it. It is a really cool blender. A little pricy and that is why I didn't give it 5 stars.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

overall i like the vitamix but def a bit pricey. didn't blend everything like i thought it would. still had chunks in my fruit blends using frozen fruit. but i guess i can't expect miracles and have nothing to compare it to to say this is not normal b/c for all i know it is.
By Crissy
from Southern Maryland
This is the most amazing appliance I own! Lately I have been choosing to make my salad a soup instead (doesn't get stuck in your teeth). The greens are completely liquified! In fact when I did it today, I accidentally had left the machine on the cleaning cycle instead of the soup cycle, but it still liquified everything! It just wasn't heated because the cycle wasn't long enough, so then I ran the soup cycle. My husband and children are also impressed with it. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!
Major purchase

I purchased the vitamix blender about a month ago. I use it everyday it is everything that I hope for and more. You hear all the hype about the blender and you are hesitant to purchase it because of the price. Is truly worth it ...you DEFINITELY get what you paid for. GREAT, GREAT product. Super happy I wish I would had order it sooner.
Runs amazing well. What a blender!

Baron Cobbold, of Knebworth in the County of Hertford, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1960 for the banker Cameron Cobbold.[2] He was Governor of the Bank of England from 1949 to 1961.[3]
The second Baron succeeded in 1987.[3] In 1961, he assumed by deed poll the additional surname of Lytton, which was the maiden name of his mother Lady Hermione Lytton, through whom the family inherited Knebworth House.[4][5] From 2000 he was one of the ninety elected hereditary peers who remained in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sat as a cross-bencher until his retirement in 2014.
Several other members of the Cobbold family have also gained distinction. The first Baron was the grandson of Nathaniel Fromanteel Cobbold, who was the son of John Cobbold, Member of Parliament for Ipswich, and brother of John Cobbold, Thomas Cobbold and Felix Cobbold, who also sat as Members of Parliament.

Kevin Quick Invited to Team USA Evaluation CampSubmitted by chad on June 8, 2007 - 20:00
According to the news web site Michigan Live (MLive.com), Lightning defensive prospect and University of Michigan commitment Kevin Quick has been invited to Team USA's 2007 National Junior Team Evaluation Camp this summer in preparation for the 2008 World Junior Championships. The tournament will be played in Pardubice and Liberec in the Czech Republic in early January.
Quick hails from Buffalo, New York and has just completed prep school in Salisbury, Connecticut. The Lightning has not had a drafted prospect on the USA WJC team since Paul Mara in 1998.

Lightning Prospects Return to the Gulf CoastSubmitted by timothy on June 7, 2007 - 15:36
Six weeks after more or less terminating their ECHL affiliation with the Johnstown Chiefs, the Tampa Bay Lightning issued a press release today reporting that the team has entered into a one-year affiliation agreement with the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL. The Sea Wolves will serve as the Lightning's primary ECHL player developmental home for the 2007-2008 season. This marks a return by the Lightning organization to the Gulf Coast region and the ECHL Southeast Division, as Tampa had a multi-season affiliation with the Pensacola Ice Pilots prior to the affiliation with Johnstown.

CHL NotesSubmitted by chad on June 6, 2007 - 10:22
Everett Silvertips defenseman Dane Crowley was not taken by the Edmonton Oil Kings in Tuesday's WHL expansion draft. The Everett Daily Herald had speculated early Tuesday that Crowley may be left unprotected. Tips General Manager Doug Soetaert was debating over whether to protect his potential professionals - Phoenix first rounder Peter Mueller and Crowley. Mueller, who signed an NHL contract last fall, can only play in the NHL with Phoenix or in the WHL - so he was to be protected. The paper considered Crowley an "even-odds bet to play professionally" next year. At 20 years of age, Crowley can play in the minor leagues.

Helenius Signs Entry Level DealSubmitted by timothy on May 31, 2007 - 15:47
The Tampa Bay Lightning issued a press release today reporting that 2006 first round pick Riku Helenius has been signed to a three-year entry level contract.
The signing comes as a surprising and unexpected move by Tampa as Helenius missed most of last season with a shoulder injury. It has been speculated that Helenius may be coming to North America this fall to play in Canadian juniors, and that signing him a year early will mitigate signing risks next summer in the event he has a breakout season.

Sullivan Named Assistant CoachSubmitted by chad on May 31, 2007 - 13:02
Tampa Bay Lightning press release
The Tampa Bay Lightning have named Mike Sullivan their new assistant coach effective immediately. Sullivan becomes the 12th assistant coach in franchise history, joining head coach John Tortorella's staff along with assistant/goaltenders coach Jeff Reese, video coach Nigel Kirwan and strength and conditioning coach Eric Lawson.
"Mike Sullivan is a very bright, energetic, innovative and dynamic hockey coach," Feaster said. "He has experience as a head coach in the NHL and at the international level. Moreover, he was very successful as a head coach in the AHL. He has played professionally under Torts and he shares with John a belief in how to coach and develop players. We believe he is the ideal candidate to help John Tortorella get the best and the most out of our players.

Koshechkin will play for CSKA if he doesn't sign with TampaSubmitted by chelya on May 29, 2007 - 06:44
UPDATE: (May 30) In the Russian newspaper, "Soviet Sport," another version of why Koshechkin's contract with the Lightning is unsigned was published.
It is rumored that Koshechkin wants to test himself at the training camp and sign the contract only after the camp if he will see by the results of the camp "enough possibilities for the career growth." As it was reported he wants to go to the camp without a contract with any team and after the camp he plans to sign a contract with Tampa or CSKA.
Anyway, those reports, no matter what is the truth if there is a truth in both newspaper notes, say that Koshechkin plans to try himself at least at the Lightning camp.

No Summer Rookie Camp; Fewer Prospects at NHL Camp this YearSubmitted by chad on May 27, 2007 - 07:58
Both Tampa Bay newspapers are reporting the number of players at Lightning camp this fall in Brandon, Florida will shrink to around 26. This will leave out as many as 28 prospects, AHLers, etc.
Lightning General Manager Jay Feaster told the St. Pete Times the plan, which could be tweaked depending on free-agent signings, will allow more intense and targeted training. He also pointed to financial reasons for the decision, including putting more of the budget toward NHL payroll.
Times reporter Damian Cristodero, citing Feaster, reports in the article Tampa Bay will not hold a summer rookie conditioning camp, but will return to the Traverse City tournament this year "only because it already is committed."

This review is from: Merely Mortal?: Can You Survive Your Own Death? (Hardcover)
Being either an agnostic or an atheist depending on how you define the line between them and what my mood is that day, I'm inclined to share Dr. Flew's scepticism on the subject of an afterlife, but I find his arguments rather circular and totally unconvincing; his insistence that he has thoroughly debunked the argument in favor of the mind as the indentifier of personal identity rather than the body is rather irritating, considering that he has done no such thing; he discounts the argument that if a person's consciousness suddenly found itself in a different body as mere science fiction and therefore irrelevant, ignoring the fact that while (so far as we know) this has never happened and can never happen, IF IT DID, the consciousness would be the source of identity, not the body. Granted, there are aruments that make this problematic; if one accepts that consciousness is the source of identity, then one has to define what constitutes consciousness, and if one goes with "memory", that leaves us with the question of whether an aged person suffering dementia who has lost much of his/her memory is no longer the same person, as well as the question of why, if mind/personality is the source of identity, physical/chemical effects (hormones, drugs, even lack of sleep) can make such a radical difference in a person's mental abilities and personality. Flew attempts to address these arguments, but does a particularly vague and unenthusiastic job of it, largely because he seems to feel that they are unnecessary arguments because he feels that his other arguments against mind/consciouness as the seat of identity are better when in fact they're completely unconvincing. (And if they don't convince me, a fellow sceptic, I'm not sure who they ARE going to convince.) And while his writing style occasionally attempts to achieve colloquiality, it is generally as ponderous as one expects of philosophy, so if you aren't comfortable with heavy-duty philosophy, it will be rather hard going, but if you ARE comfortable with serious philosophy, you may find his occasional forays into failed attempts at being chatty somewhat annoying.
I give this book two stars rather than one because the idea is a good one, and the scholarship is good, but I can't rate it any higher because it really doesn't do a very good job of what it sets out to do. I'm closer to giving it one star than three.

Meet the Author
Emily Drake lives in a sand castle by the sea…well, actually, it's a dusty house full of wonderful old books, cats, and a rambunctious cocker spaniel puppy. And, on a good day when the smog clears, you can see the Pacific Ocean. When she's not reading or talking with the cats or playing with the puppy, she is thinking of Bailey-isms and writing. Somewhere in the house is a grown-up daughter who likes to read and write histories of the fantastic and brings home pottery from class which looks as if it must have been made in another realm, so she fits in extremely well. Emily is married to a nice gentleman who works very hard in the real world and is often a bit bemused by the goings-on in the sand castle but has a good sense of humor about it all. There are other sons and a daughter who are scattered to the Trade Winds but who write and call home often. All in all, a good day is one in which books can be read and written and enjoyed by anyone Emily can reach. At the moment, the pup only considers a book as a good chew-toy, but she's hoping he'll outgrow that. Emily does not normally talk about herself like this, but the cats insisted upon it, like royalty.

this book was awesome, i loved it
Centuries ago, a wizard turned to the dark side of magick and gained many followers who rallied to his side when he battled his teacher and those who followed the light. The battle was fierce and many magickers on both sides died or fell into a long sleep waiting to be woken. Some magickers including the wizard who started the battle were thrown into the present and the pure magickers sought out youngsters in the present to defeat Brennard and his followers known and his followers known as the Dark Hand. Jason is a junior high school student who is the hope of the Adult Magickers. They believe he has the power to open up the third gate that will send them into a world where they can find sanctuary and learn how to use their developing powers. Brennard and his son Jonnar, who is as evil and powerful as his father, want to win Jason to their side or kill him so he won't become a threat to them. Move over Harry Potter, the Magickers are back and their story is as fascinating and fulfilling as any fantasy story can be. Jason is very young to have such a burden placed on him but with help from his fellow magickers, he rises to the occasion and demonstrates a maturity that most adults never achieve. Emily Drake is a powerful storyteller who gets her readers to believe in the Magickers and their powers. Harriet Klausner

I think one of us has missed the other's point (it's entirely possible that I've missed yours). I think what you're saying is that it makes sense for the KB/s to decrease when the req/s decreases, as opposed to the inverse effect. Yes, I agree, that makes sense. That's not what I'm worried about. The problem I'm seeing is that ALL of the numbers across the row should be HIGHER for the CacheFile case than for the "no cache" case.

NEW YORK -- Erasmus Hall Athletic Director Marshall Tames is "doing well" following triple bypass surgery after suffering a heart attack while announcing a high school football game this weekend, according to Dr. Ed Golembe, who treated him at the site. Tames is currently in the open-heart intensive care unit at Maimonides Medical Center.
"I just spoke with the cardiac surgeon," said Golembe, who is the director of the Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing Center at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn. "[Tames] is doing quite well for the day after surgery."
The whole life-and-death drama was overheard by those in attendance at Midwood High School Athletic Complex in Brooklyn, as the PA system was left on inadvertently.
During the first half of Saturday's playoff game between Erasmus Hall and Dewitt Clinton, an announcement was made that a doctor was needed. When Golembe went up to the announcer's booth, he found Tames in full cardiac arrest. A volunteer coach from Midwood High School had already started CPR before Golembe took over the duties. Golembe volunteers as Erasmus Hall's team physician.
PSAL regulations state that there must be an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on site for each game, and Golembe quickly used the machine. Golembe shocked Tames, and after he did, he again started CPR. Golembe estimates that within 10 to 20 seconds Tames showed some color in his face and became more alert and responsive.
Emergency units arrived shortly thereafter, by which point Tames was in stable condition.
"I don't know if it was General Patton who said luck goes to the prepared," Golembe said. "The fact that the defibrillator must be on the premises is probably the single greatest factor. The fact that he is alive today, if you want to call it luck, you can call it luck, I would prefer to call it good planning."
Golembe said the heart attack might have been brewing for awhile, as he was informed later that Tames was having chest pain and some heartburn for several days.
Dewitt Clinton head coach Howard Langley, whose team won the game, said he didn't know what was going on, but knew it was serious when he saw paramedics come onto the field. He was told right before the second half started what had happened, but chose not to tell his players. He said parents in his section of the stands heard the rescue over the PA.
"I was shocked," Langley said. "We met him when our team showed up and he showed us where we were going to be, where the bathrooms were. He was a very nice man. He had a program showing the history of the two schools that goes back to the early 1920s and he seemed like a real nice guy dedicated to what he was doing.
"I think the big part is kudos to the PSAL for mandating a doctor be at the game and a defibrillator on each sideline. That came into effect on Saturday."

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
1. Very cheap plastic design. The only metal is the pocket clip!
2. Far too light weight.
3. The rubber nib is too small.
4. I doubt this cost more than 20p to make so massively overpriced.
5. The stylus is so small it seems incapable of supporting "swipe" functions.
On the plus side:
Try this instead Just Mobile AluPen for iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch
- the cheap metallic-effect plastic finish on cheap chinese import goods, you would possibly be able to live with this stylus.
- tapping your screen just to see if this time it is going to register on your device (iPad 2).
- greasy-looking dot marks every place you've tapped on the screen, staring back at you like creatures from the abyss.
- spending £8 for a stylus that looks and makes you feel cheap.
First impressions it was too light and flimsy in my hand, I wanted to feel some quality weight like a good expensive "executive " pen. When I see the word "executive" my expectations are something which is higher quality, which sadly this is not.
If feels very cheap with its brushed silver effect and being so lightweight. Its really is a very basic styli and found the nib started to leave more smear marks than my own fingers within a few uses. So I had to stop using it completely. The nib itself is quite small so if using the pen at a lower angle has the possibility of scratching my screen...an absolute nogo for me.
Its my own personal view but I will be buying a far better quality styli after spending all the money on my gorgeous Nexus, but Im super grateful to my friend who bought me this as a gift, its always the thought that counts.Thankies XxX
For me, the main criterion for assessing whether a stylus is good or not takes time to figure out however - the main question is how long it lasts. I'm tempted to suggest that I think this one will last longer than the pretty feeble MediaDevil Magicwand (which costs £10 and lasted about a month); that's because the tip on the Amazon-branded product gives the impression that it's less adhesive and therefore less likely to 'grip' the surface it's touching. Less grip = less abrasion.
One negative point - it would have been useful (some might say essential) to have a hole in the opposite end so as to attach some sort of cord that can can be connected to the tablet/phone whatever. This product does not offer this facility, so it means there's a bigger chance of it getting lost or mislaid. I bought a couple of phone cases recently for some Samsung phones and they came with a free stylus that had a hole in the upper tip for just this purpose. The AmazonBasics Stylus is designed very much like a pen, one that when not being used can be put in a shirt or jacket pocket. That's fair enough but for home use, when the owner might be wearing clothing that has no pockets at all, it's of little use and the probability is that it will be put on a table or sideboard, maybe on the floor, and sooner or later it will get lost.
That's a shame because it could otherwise have been excellent - I think the main plus-point is that it will last longer than most due to its low-friction tip, but it might also get lost easily due to the absence of a hole (for a cord) in the other.
This one is nicely made and lightweight - important as it is not a pen and heavier stylii can become tiresome. I found the length and diameter ideal for my not very big hands.
Even more importantly, unlike many cheap stylii, this is never going to scratch your screen - even if the membrane ruptures.
The flaws:
it does not work if used at too much of an angle - it is much less flexible than others I have used.
it sometimes fails to work and needs more pressure than it should do to guarantee reliability.
it is no more accurate than a finger so not suitable for fine work (it is not designed for this)
So if you have long fingernails or are worried by finger marks on the screen this is probably what you need. If you are looking for a drawing tool or greater precision you will need a finer alternative.
This is a safe buy - beware the cheap and nasty stylii that can damage your screen.

Last Saturday I finally got the chance and was blown away a second timeI The Lucie Stern theater was nearly sold out, and the whole audience was enraptured. The three leads--Tosca, Mario and Scarpia--all sang beautifully and the orchestra sounded gorgeous as well. The performance I saw got a much-deserved standing ovation. I highly recommend this West Bay Opera production. It's as good as any opera I've seen in San Francisco.

This was an impressive introduction to West Bay Opera! Powerful, dramatic and emotional.

The opera was fantastic! Thanks Goldstar!! The singers were superb and the orchestra was brilliant, the sets, especially the backdrop was remarkable! My ONLY complaint has nothing to do with the opera nor the performers...
